Why
Prague Castle
is special
It is one of the world's biggest castles (some say the largest). Since the 9th century, Prague Castle has been the seat of kings and presidents.
Top 5
Prague attractions
Must
sees
St.
Vitus Cathedral
This colossal Gothic structure (see photo) dominates the
Prague skyline and is strikingly ornamented inside and out. Many famous kings
were crowned and buried in it.
Royal
Palace
The highlight is Vladislav
Hall. It is a large, majestically vaulted
throne room. Festive events were staged in it including lavish banquets and even
Prague style jousting tournaments.
Basilica
of St George
This relatively small, thousand year old, Romanesque style
basilica is well preserved.
Chapel
of St. Wenceslas
Adorned with gems and artwork.
Golden
Lane
A cute row of tiny, colorful buildings nestled against a castle wall
- the lane view is quite photogenic. The former inhabitants included goldsmiths
and palace guards. Today, tourist shops reign.
